Everybody else moves on. And you find a way to go forward, but that day is always happening for you,\u201d Edward Edelman said as he arrived at New York\u2019s World Trade Center to honor his slain brother-in-law, Daniel McGinley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Joe Biden, speaking at a military base in Anchorage, Alaska, urged Americans to rally around protecting democracy. His visit, en route to Washington from a trip to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-vietnam-status-china-trade-ac8f9dd899f77910c42295769d3fedb6\" target=\"_blank\">India and Vietnam<\/a>, is a reminder that the impact of 9\/11 was felt in every corner of the nation, however remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5472\" height=\"3648\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23254480255385.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"People pray before the commemoration ceremony on the 22nd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on Monday, Sept. 11, 2023, in New York.\" class=\"wp-image-75173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23254480255385.jpg.jpg 5472w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23254480255385.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23254480255385.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23254480255385.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23254480255385.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23254480255385.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5472px) 100vw, 5472px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">People pray before the commemoration ceremony on the 22nd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on Monday, Sept. 11, 2023, in New York.

Instead of remarks from political figures, the event features victims reading the names of the dead and delivering brief personal messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some included patriotic declarations about American values and thanked first responders and the military. One lauded the Navy SEALs who killed al-Qaida leader and 9\/11 plotter Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in 2011. Another appealed for peace and justice. One acknowledged the many lives lost in the post-9\/11 \u201cWar on Terror.\u201d And many shared reflections on missing loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThough we never met, I am honored to carry your name and legacy with me,\u201d said Manuel Jo\u00e3o DaMota Jr., who was born after his father and namesake died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To Gabrielle Gabrielli, reading names \u201cis the biggest honor of my life.\u201d She lost her uncle and godfather, Richard Gabrielle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have to keep the memory of everybody who died alive. This is their legacy,\u201d Gabrielli said, heading into the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden, a Democrat, became the first president to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-911-terrorist-attack-harris-alaska-8e58378865dc612a49d0a2dee80f2304\" target=\"_blank\">commemorate Sept. 11 in the western U.S<\/a>. He and his predecessors have gone to one or another of the attack sites in most years, though Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Barack Obama each marked the anniversary on the White House lawn at times, and Obama also visited Fort Meade in Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warning of a rise in extremism and political violence, Biden told service members and their families that that \u201cevery generation has to fight\u201d to preserve U.S. democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s why the terrorists targeted us in the first place \u2013 our freedom, our openness, our institutions. They failed. But we must remain vigilant,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First lady Jill Biden laid a wreath at the 9\/11 memorial at the Pentagon, where a giant American flag hung over the side of the building. Earlier, bells tolled, and musicians played taps at 9:37 a.m., the time when one of the hijacked jets hit the military headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs the years go by, it may feel that the world is moving on or even forgetting what happened here on Sept. 11, 2001,\u201d but the Defense Department will always remember, Secretary Lloyd Austin said. He deployed to Iraq in the war that followed the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harris\u2019 husband, Doug Emhoff, laid a wreath at the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where another plane crashed after passengers tried to storm the cockpit. Earlier Monday at the memorial, a rabbi from Pittsburgh\u2019s Tree of Life synagogue, where a gunman killed 11 worshippers in 2018, called for ensuring that younger people know about 9\/11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith memory comes responsibility, the determination to share our stories with this next generation, so that through them, our loved ones continue to live,\u201d Rabbi Jeffrey Myers said. The memorial is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/flni\/teach-2-remember.htm\" target=\"_blank\">offering a new educational video<\/a>, virtual tour and other materials for classroom use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many Americans did volunteer work on what Congress has designated both Patriot Day and a National Day of Service and Remembrance. Others gathered for anniversary events at memorials, firehouses, city halls, campuses and elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Iowa, a march set off at 9:11 a.m. Monday from suburban Waukee to the state Capitol in Des Moines. In Columbus, Indiana, observances include a remembrance message sent to police, fire and EMS radios. New Jersey\u2019s Monmouth County, which was home to some 9\/11 victims, this year made Sept. 11 a holiday for county employees so they could attend commemorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pepperdine University\u2019s campus in Malibu, California, displayed one American flag for each victim, plus the flags of every other country that lost a citizen on 9\/11. Reflecting the tragedy\u2019s scope, U.N. General Assembly President Dennis Francis exhorted world nations Monday to counter extremism, build tolerance, \u201cjoin hands and say never again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fenton, Missouri, is more than 650 miles (1,050 kilometers)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ap.org\/680%20from%20Shanksville,%20more%20from%20Pentagon%20and%20NYC\" target=\"_blank\">from the attack sites<\/a>. But the St. Louis suburb, population 4,000, holds an anniversary ceremony at a memorial that includes steel from the World Trade Center\u2019s fallen twin towers and a plaque honoring Jessica Leigh Sachs, a 9\/11 victim with relatives in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re just a little bitty community,\u201d Mayor Joe Maurath said ahead of the anniversary, but \u201cit\u2019s important for us to continue to remember these events. Not just 9\/11, but all of the events that make us free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Associated Press journalists Julie Walker and Deepti Hajela in New York; Seung Min Kim in
